Chapter 142 Explanation
My sister-in-law went too far with what she did.
That was all the money Mom had worked so hard to save over the years. After she used most of the money to buy a job, there was hardly any money left in the house.
My sister-in-law actually ransacked my mother's entire house without even telling her beforehand.
They both work in a textile factory; it wouldn't take them long to say anything.
After hearing all this, Xu Sui was slightly taken aback. She knew that Liu Feng took the money to save the child, but no matter what, she should have told her family in advance.
That money, after all, didn't belong to the couple; it was her mother's savings from her own work.
Xu Fei was at a loss for what to do. His voice was muffled as he said, "Sister, my sister-in-law took the five yuan that Mom had prepared for me to pay for my meals."
"That money needs to be handed over to the school tomorrow."
If he doesn't pay, he won't be able to eat lunch at school anymore.
Xu Sui patted his head, then took out five yuan from her pocket. "Alright, here you go. I won't let you go hungry."
"Hold on tight, don't drop it."
"Also, be smarter in the future. You're eleven years old already, and you can't even understand a sentence. That won't do."
This kid almost got into trouble today.
After returning from the clinic, Xiao Fen pulled her aside. Only then did she realize that after the boy relayed the wrong message, Qin Yunzhou almost disregarded his injured leg and rushed outside.
If Xiao Fen hadn't stopped him in time and brought Qin Yunzhou back to his senses, something really bad might have happened.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fei immediately lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look up at his older sister again.
Okay, he admits that he seems to be a little clumsy.
"Sister, I was wrong. I'll change. I promise I'll never do something like this again."
……
On the other side, at the county hospital.
Wang Yinhua had already arrived there and asked around among the nurses before finally finding Jinbao's ward.
She was so worried that she practically ran there. Even though she's middle-aged and likes to look her best, her hair was all messed up from running, and she didn't have time to fix it.
After searching for a long time at the hospital, Wang Yinhua finally found the ward. Without thinking, she pushed the door open and rushed in, "Jinbao, how is Jinbao...?"
As soon as I went inside.
A small child lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in thick white bandages, revealing only a thin, weak, pale face with almost no color in it.
He Quan and Liu Feng, a married couple, sat on either side of the hospital bed, watching over their child, not daring to rest for a moment.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, He Quan was the first to react. He quickly stood up and said, "Mom, you're here."
Liu Feng sat by the hospital bed, holding her son's small hand tightly. She kept her head down, looking at her son's weak face, as if she hadn't heard a thing. She looked dazed.
Wang Yinhua didn't have time to worry about her for the moment, and instead hurriedly asked anxiously, "How is Jinbao? Is he alright?"
He was perfectly fine this morning, how could something have happened so suddenly and he ended up in the hospital?
He Quan remained silent for a moment, then shook his head, his voice hoarse with guilt.
"Jinbao... he's not doing well. He's in a coma. The doctor said he was injured in the head. Although the county hospital can perform brain surgery, their technology and equipment are not as good as those of the provincial hospitals. They don't dare to perform the surgery on the child casually."
"Moreover... Jinbao is a rural resident, so the medical expenses for him are higher than for people with urban resident status. If we send him to the provincial hospital, the cost will probably be quite substantial."
"The doctors have temporarily stabilized Jinbao's condition. They told us to think it over carefully and take the child to a major hospital in the provincial capital as soon as possible."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Mom, is there... anything else you can do?"
Wang Yinhua's mind was in turmoil, and her head was throbbing. Seeing her eldest grandson lying in the hospital bed made her both angry and heartbroken. In addition, the many things that had happened at home today only made her feel more and more upset.
After checking on his eldest grandson's condition in the hospital bed.
Suppressing her anger, she asked with a look of disappointment and frustration.
"Quanzi, Mom is asking you, how do you take care of your children at home?"
"How did Jinbao get into trouble?"
"And another thing, the child had an accident, why didn't you tell me? You even sneaked back home, broke the lock on my house, ransacked the place, and even took the few dollars of food money I left under your brother's pillow?"
Regardless, since such a serious incident has happened to the child, we should at least notify the doctor who is the grandmother, and then go get her bankbook.
She took it, and since the matter was urgent, she didn't mind.
But who does things like that? They ransacked her entire house and even broke her locks.
This isn't taking money; it's clearly robbery.
He Quan was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
He blurted out instinctively, "Mom, what... what do you mean? Wasn't that money you gave to Liu Feng? How did it become stealing? How can you call family stealing?"
This made Wang Yinhua even angrier. Her face turned ugly, and her chest heaved violently. She almost couldn't catch her breath.
"You...you...is that what your wife told you?"
So, after smashing her locks and taking all the money in the house, it turned out she was the one who gave it to him?
At this moment, Liu Feng stood up and walked up to Wang Yinhua.
She couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, her tone full of dissatisfaction and accusation.
"Alright, Mom, what are you doing? Your only grandson is lying in a hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance. How can you, as his grandmother, be so heartless? All you care about is money, money, money. Don't you care about your poor grandson?"
"I knew it. You looked down on me from the moment I married into the family. You despised me and even the children I gave birth to."
"But what did the child do wrong? He's still so young, and you're such a grown-up, a grandmother. Why can't you treat Jinbao the same way you treat Xu Sui? He's clearly your own grandson."
As she spoke, Liu Feng's eyes even reddened, and she choked up and cried, tears and snot streaming down her face.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Wang Yinhua, the mother-in-law, was malicious and bullied her daughter-in-law, driving her to tears.
A nurse even ran over, giving Wang Yinhua a disapproving look, and reached out to pull her away.
"Ma'am, your child is still in the hospital bed, and the child's mother is also anxious and worried about the child. How could you make her cry at this time? This is really inappropriate of you. You should talk to your child first and then go home to discuss anything else."
